    Free Drum Samples

    With over 450,000 downloads and counting, 99 Drum Samples I is the most popular 99Sounds sound library released to date.

    Five years after the original, we are releasing 99 Drum Samples II, our new drum sample library that follows the footsteps of its predecessor.

    99 Drum Samples is a two-part collection of free drum samples. It contains royalty-free drum sounds crafted from scratch using advanced sound design techniques and processed using internal and external audio gear.

    The source drum samples come from various analog and digital synthesizers, acoustic drums, classic drum machines, and field recordings. We then used multiple onboard effects and studio gear to process the clean drum samples.

    The included drum sounds cover various music styles, from hip-hop and trap to dubstep, electronic, synthwave, lo-fi, and pop. We imagined 99 Drum Samples as a must-have drum collection for all music producers, despite their favorite genre.

    The same can be said about the sound design techniques we used to create these drum samples.

    We used analog distortion, high-end preamps, cheap tape recorders, field recorders, guitar amps, a spring reverb, an old Tascam PortaStudio 4-track, a vinyl deck, and a vintage tape delay unit.

    We even used a Game Boy to resample some of the sounds for added grit.

    Here’s a portion of the gear list: Solid State Logic SSL 2+, Soundcraft Signature 12 MTK, Moog Minitaur, MFB 522 Drumcomputer, Jomox Alpha Base, Arturia DrumBrute Impact, Korg Electribe ER-1, Lell UDS, Yamaha DD-5, Golden Age Project Pre-73 MKIII, Nintendo Game Boy, Tascam Portastudio 244, Commodore 64, Dynacord Echocord Mini, and more.

    The result is a unique collection of free drum samples that sound different.

    Summary

    The first part of the library includes 99 individual drum samples, and the second part contains 110 drum samples. All sounds are provided in 24-bit WAV format.

    The included drum samples are carefully edited, trimmed, and normalized to -0.3 dB (except for some of the cymbal hits, which are peaking around -3 dB).

      Firstly, thank you so much for the samples. I almost can’t believe that you offer so many on a pay what you want basis. You saved me on a current project (used in Structure Free) and I’ll be back to purchase more.

      I have a question that’s maybe off topic… I was impressed by how your digital download cart worked. I wanted to offer digital downloads on my site but I wasn’t sure how the confirmation email, link to the download etc. was set up. I can code a little. I was wondering if you could point me in the direction of how you guys set your downloads up? Is it custom coded?

      Anyway thanks again 99 for running an awesome site!

      These beats sound amazing! Question though: I’m learning to code, and want to use these samples to learn to build a fun web-based drum kit. Would this violate the License by using the samples as source material for a virtual instrument? This would only be for me to learn, but if I’m successful, I’d want to display it for user interaction on my personal website. I wouldn’t stand to gain from it, wouldn’t offer the ability to record beats, and would give credit to 99sounds for the samples. Would this use of you guys’ awesome product be okay?
